Biodiesel produced from transesterification of triglycerides with alcohol has attracted attention due to its advantages over fossil fuels. Vegetable oil is a renewable fuel that is made from plants, but has too high a viscosity for diesel engines. Biodiesel is defined as mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids derived from vegetable or animal fats that are not toxic, biodegradable, contain oxygen, and do not have sulfur or aromatics like petroleum diesel. The research demonstrated that biodiesel produced from sunflower oil under optimal conditions was of good quality and could be used as a renewable and environmentally friendly diesel alternative.
